In command prompt while running as administrator type "sfc /scannow".....without quotes.

More advanced steps in command prompt are if the above fails are:

To check health use following command

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

To try and repair use:

Dism /Image:C:\offline /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:c:\test\mount\windows

Since you mentioned chkdsk failed i recommend the above steps, which wont format your hd but may repair without needing to backup, format and install windows.
